Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist's skepticism towards her proposed mentor's qualifications, which is quickly dispelled. She trades a valuable flawless mana crystal to learn the mentor's identity—a powerful swordmaster, the 'Arbiter of Lawlessness.' The group plans a trip to the capital, and the chapter concludes with a separate character scheming to use the group's presence to their advantage and mentions an item to help use this mana crystal.
